I tried to install Ambari into 16.04 Lubuntu. The ambari version was 2.2.1.1

While registering with the UI wizard, an Ambari agent… the following error occurred from: /var/log/ambari-agent/ambari-agent.log

INFO 2016-05-01 01:01:03,673 NetUtil.py:60 - Connecting to https://salvob1:8440/connection_infoINFO 2016-05-01 01:01:04,165 security.py:99 - SSL Connect being called.. connecting to the serverINFO 2016-05-01 01:01:04,792 security.py:60 - SSL connection established.

No testing or certification has been done with Ubuntu 16. We currently certify Ubuntu 12 and 14 with Ambari.

16.04 was only released on 21st of this month. OS level support requires a lot of testing. While workarounds might come sooner, official support will take some time. ( I don't have the any timeline for this if that is what you are looking for)

Ran into the same problem. I will need to do a fresh installation on my VM's using 14.04. It will be good to know when 16.04 is compartible.

I found a workaround only for client nodes, after install ambari-agent manually, stop the ambari-agent, change the python file /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ambari_agent/Facter.py like this:

# Returns the OS name
  def getKernel(self):
    #return platform.system()
    return "ubuntu14"

# Returns the OS version
  def getOperatingSystemRelease(self):
    #return OSCheck.get_os_version()
    return "14.04"

delete the python file /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ambari_agent/Facter.pyc and restart the ambari-agent

Hi all,

I have been setting up to install Ambari on Ubuntu 16, is it compatible with Ambari yet?

Thanks.

Hi All,

It has been 9 months since this thread was last active, but it looks like there still is not support for v16. Hortonworks folks, can provide any guidance on roadmap or timing for this support? Will it come as a future release of HDP 5.x, or most likely not until 6.x? Any estimated timelines or milestones are helpful for infrastructure and migration planning and the associated budget cycles.

Thanks,

David

9 months have now passed since this thread was posted and v16 was released. Any idea when support will be coming? Anything from the roadmap or timing to share would really help with infrastructure planning. Thanks.
